Agreed. I have both and wouldn't prefer the Warrior X in almost any situation over the M2R pro. I also find the sharp cutoff at the end of the spill is terrible walking in the woods. It creates such a bad blind spot. Not having any low beam settings is something else I didn't really care for. I think mounted on a rifle is probably the only real strong suit for the Warrior X.
Brad Jones thanks for kind words. Check out my channel. (Gadget philosophy) I’ve got a few other Olight torches. Hope your doing well with this zombie apocalypse (covid 19). Stay safe
Excellent review. You made choose MR2! Keep up the good work. Ps: you should have a lot more subscribers. You really give your genuine opinion and I really appreciate it.
Ricardo G thanks so much. My videos have gotten better with time. At least the quality of the production. My reviews are the same honest opinion. I really appreciate the kind words. Everything is bought with my own money. No support from Olight. I did reach out to them, I’m obviously too small to be of any significance to them. I very much appreciate your comments. If by some chance you have any friends by all means let them know about my channel. It would be a help. . I’ve got to tell you friend. Things are pretty tough here in Victoria. They’ve put in a Kurfew and also a maximum distance of 5km radius. Big fines if you’re caught. I hope your doing ok where you are. Welcome and Thanks again.
I'll spread your channel the most I can. Your government is getting crazy you guys are almost living in a dictature! The virus kills but in my opinion very little if you compare to other diseases, it only spreads a lot. We are living a pandemic of assyntomatics. It's time to end this and live normal life. Take care!
Ricardo G I believe they’re manipulating the statistics. According to the CDC. 96% of covid deaths have other associated illness. Eg. cancer , old age related issues. Yet they classify the death as a covid statistic. Very misleading
I like your style. You seem like a genuinely cool dude. By the way, I just ordered the Warrior Pro X about 3 days ago and then went ahead and ordered the M2R Warrior Pro last night. I’ll let you know my opinion after I’ve received them and tried them out. Subbed too. 👍🏼
Thanks for that buddy. You’ll love both. My only caveat which I mentioned with warrior pro x is the run time at high output. You’d barely get 2 runs at 3 minutes on high. It has a great run time on the lower setting but high craps out too quick. I’d be interested to hear your opinion. Thanks for kind words. 👍🏻
You like them both and you gave your honest thoughts on both. I bought warrior X Pro and for distance and self defence use! Warrior x pro does feel great a high quality tatical flashlight and great little hand warmer in those cold winter nights. M2R does look very nice and is bright. Warrior X Pro my only complaint is turbo doesn't last more than 2 minutes as I'd say I'd like longer turbo run time. M2R has that single beam which looks nice too. It's aleays so good to hear honest reviews and thoughts! Stay safe!
As time has gone by. The M2R has been the choice for me. I barely bring the warrior x out to play. It’s more of beast with output but reality is for what I use it for, Mainly casual stuff (definitely not tactical) I use the M2R. But if it’s for tactical yeh the warrior is a savage. As fir run times the original warrior X pro was rated to 2300 lumens, so it chewed through the power. You’d barely get 2 runs on full power before you see it dim down to 1000 lumens. At that point you’d barely see a difference between high and low. Still when it’s peaking. It’s a savage.
Comparing an edc light and a weapon light... I have the warrior x pro on my ar15 and it’s perfect. Took the belt clip off and put my light in a picatiny mount. Whole reason it has the 2 modes is for indoor/outdoor use 1 you don’t blind yourself indoors put it on low and 2 it throws light 600 meters if you need to shoot at someone shooting at you down the road. Good review on the mr2 though I do like that flashlight a lot (for edc) . 👍🏻
matt corcoran so sorry for late reply. I don’t know how I missed it?? You know the 350lumens is plenty of light for any situation.. think about it. 10 or so years ago when led lensar bought out their 100 lumen torch everyone including me though it was revolutionary. Now if it’s not 1000 lumens we’re disgusted as if it’s not good enough. The reality while here in Oz we don’t have many guns. I’d imagine tactical operation should be simple. Not trying to work our modes. 100% agree with your choice. Good throw. Good spread, robust. Just light enough to carry on top of riffle. It be my choice for sure. A lot of people are also using the javelot pro. I thinks it’s too big. But I’m just one fat guy with an opinion. Nice to hear from you. Cheers
Good review, I like your no nonsense approach. I've just bought both these torches. I've also bought the Olight Seeker 2 Pro, would love to see you do a review of this torch. 😊 Liked and subbed.
Thanks for the support. I’m hoping to review the torches I have first. If the channel gets some traction I’ll certainly have that one on my list. From what I hear it’s a great all rounder.
Damn wish I had a gunmetal Grey M2r and a tan X pro, I got a desert sunset pro wich is pretty dope, and ocean camp M2r and I don’t really like it but it’s ok, your od green looks. Killer
Levi Howard you are so welcome. Something about torches. I just love them cause you can use them every day if you like night walks. I almost got into knives. However I rarely ever need one. Unless I’m unboxing a torch. Take care Levi
I think the M2R Pro has adequate light spread for walking on High and Turbo but that does increase head and reduce battery life so I understand if that's a concern for people, as of writing this comment I'm pretty undecided between the M2R Pro and the Seeker 3 Pro.
I prefer the "M2r Pro" instead of the "Warrior X Pro" as a tactical light. It's not so bulky and I get more Light Modes. The beam distance is also long enough (at least for me). Thank you for this video, very well done.
triffnix thanks so much. By all means check out my other videos. The quality is progressing steadily. Same honest content. Same fat banana doing it. Just better video production. As for M2R pro. My favourite up until now. ATM a very close second to seeker pro 2. It’s also awesome. Not tactical but very usable beam pattern. I just don’t like the colour tint. I’m more into neutral white/warm white. Ok. Speech over. Take care
@@gadgetphilosophy8290 I really appreciate the effort of youtubers which buy stuff of their own money. It's more likely to get a honest opinion. My absolute favorite lights from Olight are the i3t/i5t (small and lightweight enough for EDC and I got one of them in each room next to the light switch), S2R Baton 2 (still small enough for EDC but better output and runtime) and the Seeker 2 Pro (like the S2R Baton 2 but on steroids)
triffnix for me the little batons. S1r baton 2 and S2R baton. They’re my favourite little baby’s for edc. They’re real handy as you can also clip on a hat and use as a head torch. Dual purpose. I like the form factor of the i3t and i5t just not a fan of replacing battery’s. That being said I’ve got a few of them. As for buying torches with our own money. Yes that’s how it is. Self funded. Expensive. It takes a long time to get anything from you tube. You either have to be huge or your wasting your time. I’m only doing it for a bit if fun. Was hoping to get more traction but it’s very difficult. Especially for torches. It’s such a niche topic. Either way I get to learn to do video editing, camera work etc. it’s been fun. Especially in this isolation with covid and all. Anyway. Take care. Good to hear from you. At least I get to chat to torch minded individuals like yourself. 👍🏻
I'm a huge flashlight lover. I have a nice collection. I've been caught up between these 2. Might just grab both but your video and screenshot pics are AWESOME!!! It was perfect to tell how each one differently puts out light. I subscribed and I'm looking forward to watching the rest of your videos 🔦
UFC FANATIC thanks for feedback mate. A lot of my videos have the photo comparisons. At one stage I was thinking of only photos to demonstrate light output. Enjoy watching. Thanks
I have 14 with 6 more on the way. The M2R is fantastic and can’t wait to get the M2R Pro and Warrior X Turbo to go with my Warrior X Pro and Javelot Pro. Oh. Also have the Seeker 2 coming. Didn’t splurge on the Seeker 2 Pro. Don’t see the need. Have a Perun full size too. Yeah, I need help! I also have all the gun lights too...
Kornholeeoo sounds like you’ve got GAS (gear acquisition syndrome) . Ive had it for years. No vaccine can fix this. On a serious note. Just crazy that one man can want so many torches. My wife can’t understand....as for seeker 2 or seeker 2 pro, barely a difference. Nice yo hear from you. Take care.
Kornholeeoo I here ya mate. I thinking I should sell a whole bunch of gear and yet here I’m am in Australia waiting for the 40% sale to start. I’ve got doubles and triples of just about everything in multiple colours. I see a problem, yet I just want more.
Gadget Philosophy There was a guy on the Olight FB page who said he was prepared for the hurricane season in Florida. He had 50 plus lights all still new in boxes. I told him he better open them and charge them! Got quite a few laughs!
Ok, this is my opinion. Olight has yet to create the perfect flashlight. All of their handheld lights have a very specific lenses for very specific beam patterns. The MR2 has almost a stage spotlight beam, which works, but only at a very specific distance from what you are trying to see. The X Pro has a very concentrated beam meant for looong distance. Initially I was disappointed that the color temperature was so "yellow". After quite a bit of research, i now know that the higher color temperature lights that most of us like because of its bluer tint and resemblance to daylight, don't fair too well at night as far as distance goes. The yellower LED's emit light more toward the red spectrum, and as we know, red light has a longer wavelength, therefore can travel longer distances than the bluer, cool LED's. I would like to see Olight do a light which kind of comes down the middle of these two lights. A slightly wider beam than the X Pro with mabe a slighter ...and only slighter brighter color temperature. Strobe is a must for me, a visual batt. level indicator is a must for me as well. The implementation of this vibrating battery indicator is weird to me. I do have both light, and I like them, but for completely different purposes. God that was long..
Nice comments man. Well. I’ll say the seeker 2 or seeker 2 pro might be more your style. It’s a floodier beam pattern but due to its high power lumen output it gets out there. It has battery indicator. it has strobe.. Look I’m like you just a consumer. Olight don’t support me in any way. They do make quality stuff. As for the haptic engine in the warrior I’m with you. The colour tint on the original seeker 2 seems good to me. They had a big name brand LED. It’s also more energy efficient ( philips) i think. Damn I can’t exactly remember. It was slightly warmer and not so blue like the seeker 2 Pro. My 2 favourite lights are the M2r pro and the original seeker 2. Now if I’m being absolutely straight the seeker 2 pro is more practical. But I do like the slim form factor and spotting capabilities of the m2R. Anyway. Thanks for your thoughts. 👍🏻👍🏻
The M2R is a sweet torch. I’ve got both but the M2R Pro is my favourite. My daughter and I are out to look at the kangaroos tonight, she’ll have an M2R Pro, I’ll have the Marauder 2.👍🏼
M2R is my favourite. Followed by seeker 2. (Not the pro as the original seeker 2 has better run times at same outputs).. I always see your name on that Facebook page. Hope you’re doing well mate. I just came back from camping. I had all the mighty olights in tow. They make a great party trick for led lenser lovers.
I have the M2R Pro and are so happy with it! The moonlight Mode should be programmed as the "Baton II", which I love for working at home. But that is only personal preference.
Lasse Kolb with all of us a personal preference is the right thing. After all we’re the ones using the torch. Eg I always harp on about warm white. (neutral white)..it’s my personal preference but it seems Olight stats prefer the lumen output instead colour tint. I’m definetely a fan of baton II , form factor and sheer range. In fact I love the 5 power settings most Olight torches have. Not a big fan of the 2 step rear switch on the warrior pro. It’s ok on the M2R cause it give you best of both worlds. Either way . There’s more videos to come. Thanks for your comment. Hope to hear from you again. 👍🏻
Michael James thanks mate. Love this comment section. One guy said to me “ wolverine you’ve really let yourself go.” I really appreciate the kind words.
Thanks for your review! I actually bought my first Olight, and choose the M2R Pro because of your review! Was torn between the Warrior X Pro and the M2R Pro, but as you said, looks wise and usability for nightwalks etc the M2R Pro is a better choice. However no doubt I will buy more in the future. Although I am also looking at the Seeker 2 Pro now as well if you have got any thoughts on this?
Peter Atkins , congrats on the m2r. the seeker 2 I has same UI as the m2r pro on the thumb switch. (No tailswitch). . The light pattern is more of a spread but due to its shear power it gets out there. Doesn’t shine as far as the m2r and certainly not as far as the warrior pro x. However if close range eg up to 25m where most people use a torch it does really well. It’s a great walk light. It’s primary purpose is not to spot. It’s got the 21700 battery. Basically keeps the barrel of the torch more slimline (ergonomic). I’m not a big fan of tail switches on any torch however I don’t use it in a tactical application so the thumb switch on the head suits me fine. (Personal opinion)... to tell you truth. If you already have the m2r it’s not that much difference to the seeker 2 pro. If for eg you wanna carry 2 different torches in different places I’d say yeh get the seeker 2 pro. However if you walk at night I’d get a head torch. Eg. A h2r nova or a Perun that’s if you wanna stick to the Olight family. I’ve made a vs video on that too. Maybe check it out. Go to ‘gadget philosophy ’ on you tube and check it out. Both head torches are good except the colour tint. Sorry about drawn out answer. In conclusion if it were up to me the seeker 2 pro is a much more useful torch than the warrior x pro.
@@gadgetphilosophy8290 Thanks for taking the time for your detailed reply! For times that I need to be hands free, especially when I do my mountaineering I do have a Petzl Reactik+ head torch which serves my needs for that purpose. I do love my M2R Pro, I was previously carrying the Anker LC90, now my partner carries that, although it is significantly bigger than the Olight. I guess it would be buying for the sake of buying, who doesn't love new gadgets! I am checking out your video channel as we speak! Potentially the S1R Baton 2 for my partner would be nice and compact! Thanks again and will sub to see what new things you come up with!
Just trolling comment....start watching EGO Power Tools and Lawn Care videos and fix that yard. Yikes! But, great flashlight review - like the photo comparisons at the end.
OPUS Digital Audio dude. It’s. a rental property. We moved down closer to my wife’s folks for corona virus purposes. They’re getting on a bit. So rental property no point doing the work. It’s a horror I know.
Warrior x up to 60m. Obviously it’s relative. As the beam shoots further out it spreads. Bigger hotspot spread out. These so called ratings are measured at an equivalent brightness of moonlight. So yeah light gets there but how effective is it that dim ? Not much. These ratings are good for comparing one to another but as I suggested 10-20% of rated distance is realistic. That being said it’s only my opinion/perception. 👍🏻
Just bear in mind the x pro burns through battery very fast on turbo. Good light. Gets hot quick. If you run it twice on turbo for 2 mins your back to 1000 lumens. Bear in mind they’re new colours now have reduced output. Possibly better run time but not sure. They’re definitely changing the led on them.
I have a warrior x pro it really isnt a good all rounder. I find myself using the seeker 2 more. X pro is just a party trick not useful at all will be selling mine and buying the m2r pro warrior.
Yeh agreed. Also I find the warrior x pro to chunky. If you use it a lot it’s another valid consideration. That’s why I picked m2r myself. Plus battery life and stepped modes. As over a year went buy. Overall for me the most useful torch is a toss up- seeker 2 or the M2r. Warrior X is a dud 👎🏻
George Bousgas if you move the decimal point over a couple of notches, and buy it second hand. I’d say your pretty close. Any comment is a welcome comment. You’re from Greece. Are we related? Do I know you ?
Gary Willis in simple terms. Yes. The M2R is a ‘wider’ spot barely any spill. The warrior x pro has a small intense spot(super bright)with a very wide secondary spill, it’s almost like 2 different light patterns. Hope this helps.
@@garywillis8737 I have the Warrior mini and M2R pro, the M2R is laser focused with very little spill, I far prefer the less powerful Warrior mini, it is better balance between flood and thrower.
Oh really. Bummer. I can’t say I’ve had anyone else report this issue. I don’t know what to tell you my friend. Sorry I guess. I unfortunately can’t touch the videos once they’re posted.

I just came back from camping. I had all the mighty olights in tow. They make a great party trick for led lenser lovers.
Dude. I’ve already given it away sorry buddy.
No worries. I got rid of my comment. I’ve got a black one I’m pretty happy with.👍🏼
I have the M2R Pro and are so happy with it! The moonlight Mode should be programmed as the "Baton II", which I love for working at home. But that is only personal preference.
Lasse Kolb with all of us a personal preference is the right thing. After all we’re the ones using the torch. Eg I always harp on about warm white.
(neutral white)..it’s my personal preference but it seems Olight stats prefer the lumen output instead colour tint. I’m definetely a fan of baton II , form factor and sheer range. In fact I love the 5 power settings most Olight torches have. Not a big fan of the 2 step rear switch on the warrior pro. It’s ok on the M2R cause it give you best of both worlds. Either way . There’s more videos to come. Thanks for your comment. Hope to hear from you again. 👍🏻
Best review yet. Loved it
Michael James thanks mate. Love this comment section. One guy said to me “ wolverine you’ve really let yourself go.” I really appreciate the kind words.
I like to warrior pro because it looks really beefy rugged looks like you can withstand a lot of punishment that's my story I'm sticking to it
Thanks for your review! I actually bought my first Olight, and choose the M2R Pro because of your review! Was torn between the Warrior X Pro and the M2R Pro, but as you said, looks wise and usability for nightwalks etc the M2R Pro is a better choice. However no doubt I will buy more in the future. Although I am also looking at the Seeker 2 Pro now as well if you have got any thoughts on this?
Peter Atkins , congrats on the m2r. the seeker 2 I has same UI as the m2r pro on the thumb switch. (No tailswitch). . The light pattern is more of a spread but due to its shear power it gets out there. Doesn’t shine as far as the m2r and certainly not as far as the warrior pro x. However if close range eg up to 25m where most people use a torch it does really well. It’s a great walk light. It’s primary purpose is not to spot. It’s got the 21700 battery. Basically keeps the barrel of the torch more slimline (ergonomic). I’m not a big fan of tail switches on any torch however I don’t use it in a tactical application so the thumb switch on the head suits me fine. (Personal opinion)... to tell you truth. If you already have the m2r it’s not that much difference to the seeker 2 pro. If for eg you wanna carry 2 different torches in different places I’d say yeh get the seeker 2 pro. However if you walk at night I’d get a head torch. Eg. A h2r nova or a Perun that’s if you wanna stick to the Olight family. I’ve made a vs video on that too. Maybe check it out. Go to ‘gadget philosophy ’ on you tube and check it out. Both head torches are good except the colour tint. Sorry about drawn out answer. In conclusion if it were up to me the seeker 2 pro is a much more useful torch than the warrior x pro.
@@gadgetphilosophy8290 Thanks for taking the time for your detailed reply! For times that I need to be hands free, especially when I do my mountaineering I do have a Petzl Reactik+ head torch which serves my needs for that purpose. I do love my M2R Pro, I was previously carrying the Anker LC90, now my partner carries that, although it is significantly bigger than the Olight. I guess it would be buying for the sake of buying, who doesn't love new gadgets! I am checking out your video channel as we speak! Potentially the S1R Baton 2 for my partner would be nice and compact! Thanks again and will sub to see what new things you come up with!
Great review! I just subscribed.
Thanks so much. I appreciate the kind words 👍🏻
Just trolling comment....start watching EGO Power Tools and Lawn Care videos and fix that yard. Yikes! But, great flashlight review - like the photo comparisons at the end.
OPUS Digital Audio dude. It’s. a rental property. We moved down closer to my wife’s folks for corona virus purposes. They’re getting on a bit. So rental property no point doing the work. It’s a horror I know.
Excellent presentation. Do you have any estimate about the effective range (in addition what you said about M2R's 40m)?
Warrior x up to 60m. Obviously it’s relative. As the beam shoots further out it spreads. Bigger hotspot spread out. These so called ratings are measured at an equivalent brightness of moonlight. So yeah light gets there but how effective is it that dim ? Not much. These ratings are good for comparing one to another but as I suggested 10-20% of rated distance is realistic. That being said it’s only my opinion/perception. 👍🏻
U got a cool voice
That’s a polite way of putting it. 🤔😳😳
you forgot to mention both are good for defence; using the light to blind the attacker then smash him with torch
Ahhahaaahhaaaa. Yeh. True. Trying to keep PG. 😜
Do these torches work at night?
oztabletpc so long as you press that button they work as advertised 👍🏻👍🏻
Great video, thanks!
Quintin Kriek always appreciate your comments. Thanks buddy
Great review!
Thanks heaps Nathan. I’m trying to improve every time. 👍🏻
Awesome vid👍🏼
Oh it’s just a roo trying to kill me lmaoo
Whoa, Wolverine you’ve really let yourself go!
I’m the guy who ate Wolverine. Dude. You kill me. I’m laughing my a%&e off. Thanks for your comment.
JKC dude. My favourite comment of all time. I even mentioned it in one of my video. If you come up up with any other pearlers let me know 👍🏻
Just got my Warrior X Pro in the mail, and now I'm feeling guilty for wanting to cheat on my Fenix PD35 v2 with an M2R Pro.
My thoughts on the matter is that your conscience will recover as soon as you press the go button.
@@gadgetphilosophy8290 😂👍🏼
If you really have to, it’s fine to carry either in your pocket
Konner Kuntz yes absolutely. Probably neither is ideal as an EDC. But hey if that’s what you have it’s still fantastic. Thanks for your comment.
I’m security and my Trustfire T70 gave out after its final drop XD been thinking about the XPro cause the size difference
Just bear in mind the x pro burns through battery very fast on turbo. Good light. Gets hot quick. If you run it twice on turbo for 2 mins your back to 1000 lumens. Bear in mind they’re new colours now have reduced output. Possibly better run time but not sure. They’re definitely changing the led on them.
I have a warrior x pro it really isnt a good all rounder. I find myself using the seeker 2 more. X pro is just a party trick not useful at all will be selling mine and buying the m2r pro warrior.
Yeh agreed. Also I find the warrior x pro to chunky. If you use it a lot it’s another valid consideration. That’s why I picked m2r myself. Plus battery life and stepped modes. As over a year went buy. Overall for me the most useful torch is a toss up- seeker 2 or the M2r. Warrior X is a dud 👎🏻
Bought both ! Lol
You’ll be happy. I’m especially biased to the M2R but you won’t complain.
Is this $9.00 torch?
George Bousgas if you move the decimal point over a couple of notches, and buy it second hand. I’d say your pretty close. Any comment is a welcome comment. You’re from Greece. Are we related? Do I know you ?
So warrior pro has some spill but the m2r pro doesn’t have any spill?
Gary Willis in simple terms. Yes. The M2R is a ‘wider’ spot barely any spill. The warrior x pro has a small intense spot(super bright)with a very wide secondary spill, it’s almost like 2 different light patterns. Hope this helps.
Gadget Philosophy Are the spill from Warrior Pro useable? Or do you just know that it is there, but doesn’t make a practical difference?
@@garywillis8737 I have the Warrior mini and M2R pro, the M2R is laser focused with very little spill, I far prefer the less powerful Warrior mini, it is better balance between flood and thrower.
Vol is on high and can't hear a thing your saying
Oh really. Bummer. I can’t say I’ve had anyone else report this issue. I don’t know what to tell you my friend. Sorry I guess. I unfortunately can’t touch the videos once they’re posted.
